If you want to see every post I’ve written, starting with the most recent, this is the place to start!
I’ve been traveling the globe solo, and many of my posts share thoughts and resources specifically for other solo travelers. If you’re a fellow solo traveler, or you’re thinking about solo travel, this is a collection you will find of interest.
If you’re looking to read blog posts about specific destinations, click the country of your interest below to go to it’s blog page and get country-specific reviews and thoughts.
Sometimes I write posts where I give insider information on certain cities I’ve visited, which may be more along the lines of places to go, how to save money, etc. If that’s your main interest, check out this compilation of posts.
In 2020, I was traveling in New Zealand as the coronavirus pandemic brewed, and, got stuck there. If you want to read about what this time was like and traveling during this time, check out this page.
At the heart of international travel is learning about the many different cultures and ways of being around the world. The posts compiled on this page speak, specifically, about the cultural observations I’ve had.
Many of my blog posts are about things I’ve discovered about myself or about being, while I’ve traveled. If you’d like to focus on posts that only have self-discovery themes, click the button below.
A GPSmyCity App Giveaway!
Senegal
This week’s post is a little different than usual. I’m excited to announce a collaboration with GPSmyCity, so read on for details!
Travel With GPS-Guided Articles
I don’t know about you, but when I’m going someplace new, there are an awful lot of resources to find information about where to go, what to do….and, if you’re like me, you’ll bookmark them for later. But, when later comes, you can’t remember where you put all the articles, or what those hidden gems were that you wanted to see!
GPSmyCity – Special Offer!
That’s where GPSmyCity can be a great travel partner. It turns travel articles into guides you can use when you’re actually at the destination. Better yet, several of my travel articles are now available through GPSmyCity, where you can download them to your phone and take them with you as you explore.
Even better, from September 7th through September 21st, you can upgrade the featured articles below to their GPS-guided versions completely free.
Cape Town, South Africa
What Is A GPS-Guided Travel Article?
Instead of trying to remember that amazing-sounding restaurant, the artsy/eclectic neighborhood, or a hidden gem you read about weeks before your trip, you can pull up the article on your phone while you’re exploring. The upgraded version connects the places mentioned in the article to an offline map with GPS navigation. (Hint: this is where the giveaway comes in!)
It gives you the insight of a travel article with the convenience of a self-guided tour.

Why Use a Travel Article App?
- Read it offline. Download the article before you leave and access it without Wi-Fi or cellular service.
- Avoid international data and roaming charges. The downloaded maps and navigation work offline.
- Find the places mentioned in the articles you saved. GPS navigation helps guide you to the sights, neighborhoods and recommendations you want to experience.
- Keep useful travel advice in easy reach. With everything in one place, you don’t have to juggle between screenshots from one app, browser tabs or an excel spreadsheet, Google Maps and even printed pages. Huge time saver!
GPSmyCity includes self-guided walks and travel articles covering more than 1,800 cities around the world. The app is available for both iOS and Android.
Download These Travel Guides Free
During the giveaway, the GPS-guided versions of the following articles, written by me, will be available as free upgrades in GPSmyCity:
- “A Few Days in Whangarei – Discover New Zealand“
- “Sarajevo City Walk“
- “7 Attractions You Should See in Penang Malaysia“
- “16 Great Activities to Do in Cape Town South Africa“ and

The giveaway runs from SEPTEMBER 7 through SEPTEMBER 21.
Whangarei, NZ

- Download the GPSmyCity app from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
